Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Dibbling will probably end up being the Eze, Bowen type player but the fans don’t want to know. I can sort of understand it as we don’t mix those kind of signings with off the shelf type. He’ll be one we look back on with regret as well I reckon

I have zero issue with us signing dibling. He’s absolutely a talented lad. We just aren’t the level of club where we should rely on Diblings to reinforce the squad now.

If we signed Eze and then also added a dibling - everyone is happy. If we flail around and end up signing dibling instead it looks desperate and it’s obviously not going to strengthen us now.
 
Well, the last few years it has been to buy younger players with a mind for the future along with some more established players who, whilst certainly not elite, were meant to be able to provide Premier League level quality and hopefully make the step up to the next level.

And having the opportunity to make major signings that take us to the next level but deciding that getting a good deal is as important?
 
The pattern is that the majority there are from 2008 to 2015. We were pretty good at transfers then. Since 2016 its been mostly dreadful. Football has changed so much in terms of spend and identfying players and we've been left behind on both fronts. We dont spend like Woolwich, Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea, City and we're not as smart at talent spotting as Palace, Brighton, Bournemouth etc.
Its like the man's being willfully stupid. This is the whole fucking point. There was a moment when the Levy bullshit was prime. It worked. Now he is fucking disco Stu, but its not 1974 any more. They are so dumb they deserve Levy.

Why? cos im not melting down on a football forum - it is interesting that I am the one who you would say this too and not the folk that come on here and obsess over twitter posts from random people, news reports that are designed to get a rise out of you, and that like to vent on here by calling levy a bald cunt 6 times a day.

That's the strategy - did I say I liked it? That's what I wanted the strategy to be?

What do you think the transfer strategy is - take your emotion out of it, try, if possible, to look at it objectively for just a second, I promise no one will judge you, and tell me.
